17: "Calm Down, Jim"

In this episode of Fic Clique, your hosts discuss "To Keep You Inside" by AirgiodSLV (Shades of Magic) @11:53, "Death of a Sparrow" by ionthesparrow (Pokemon Nuzlocke Challenge) @40:20, and "With My Feet Toward the Stars (let me remember you as you were when you existed)" by kariye (Star Trek 2009) @1:08:12. We muse on what we can ask from our relationships with others, what humanity looks like beyond the human, and how one author's prose can slap so hard. Also, this outro features a cameo by a Mom of the Pod!
